The Runaway Groom

Chapter 1008

Irene was frowning, but she lowered her voice. "Lulu is not telling you because she has her reasons-"

"What reasons could she have? She chose the wrong man and refuses to admit it. She's afraid to say it, to let others know that she was blind,' Zachary huffed, upset at Lulu's silence.

She just had to say that Martin messed up, and he would stand up for her and beat Martin up for her!

Even if they were not lovers, they could be family-he could at least do that much for her.

As a mother, Irene understood that feeling.
